by the municipal authorities, Boulanger
said "Yes, am a Frenchman and repub-
lican, and am deeply interested in the well
fare of the army and the greatness of the
country"
M. Spuller, minister of public instruction.
in distributing the prizes at meeting of an
educational society made covert attack up

fore idols. You would he unworthy of ou1

itzer and the TWO gentlemen formally bowed
Pulitzer then made a presentation speech
Mr.. Gladstone, who had made some notes
during the proceedings, spoke with great de-
liberation and feeling After praising the
beauty of the gift, he said he did not think
so much of what he deserved or might fairly
claim as of the profound and irrepressiblt
interest of America in the great Irish cause

upon himself further than to say that whilt

HURLEY, Wis, July 10.-Fire broke out
on 1.-THE stage of the Alcazar Theatre last
night at s o'clock, and within an hour the
entire business part of the town was in
flames, while IL persons had perished in the
theatre The charred remains of nine
people were taken from the ruins The loss
is fully $5o0,0o0. The Alcazar was variety
theatre. chiefly frequented by miners, and
was one of the resorts of unsavory repute
and associated with the notorious dance
houses of t he mining regions. Only small
audience had gathered when the fire broke
out, and they scrambled out in a hurry.
Several of the actors. however, rushed up
stairs to save the wardrobe. When they
sought to escape, they found they were
hemmed in on all Sides How they struggled
to flee will never be known, as none of them
except Sadie Wells and Mabel Powers were
ever seen again. The former appeared at
second story window and called piteously
upon the crowd outside TO save her. Before
hand could be raised the flames reached
her and communicated to her clothing. She
made frantic effort to jump through the
window, then with with a piercing shrek
fell into the furnace below. Mabel Powers
had reached the third story window and
jumped, and was so badly injured that her
recovery is doubtful. Among those who
persisted in the theatre were Frank Young,
Sadie McCabe and Jackson, colored come
dians; Tillie Moore, song and dance artist;
Mabel Goodrich and husband, Sadie Wells,
Mrs. Fenton, and two or three others whose
names are not known. The Alcazar was in
the heart of the city. 1t was mass OF
flames in very short time. The fire seemed
| to leap from building to building, and sew
eral blocks became roaring oven. 1t was
not long before every business building be-
tween Third and Fifth avenues were in
flames. All efforts to get the fire under con-
troll seemed futile. The fire department was
reinforced by scores of volunteers and sent
streams against the advancing walls of flame,
but had to retreat as the fire swept resistless-
| ly on. 1t did not stop until the material for
| it to feed upon was lacking. The individual
| losses. amounting to over 100000, are as
